October 2020—ARUP Laboratories now offers COVID-19 testing using saliva specimens. The laboratory will perform the test only on saliva specimens collected using an ARUP collection kit with a health care provider present.
October 2020—Promega launched its benchtop capillary electrophoresis instrument, the Spectrum Compact CE system, developed in collaboration with Hitachi High-Tech. The integrated DNA analysis instrument enables life scientists in laboratories of all sizes to perform Sanger sequencing and fragment analysis at the bench.
October 2020—The FDA issued an emergency use authorization to Yale School of Public Health for its SalivaDirect COVID-19 diagnostic test, which uses a new method of processing saliva samples when testing for COVID-19 infection, the agency says.
October 2020—CytoSmart Technologies launched an automated live-cell imaging system designed for long-term experiments, comparison studies, and large laboratory teams. The CytoSmart Multi Lux consists of four mini digital microscopes supported by automated image analysis software. Multi Lux technology enables users to run up to four experiments simultaneously from inside the incubator. Automated image analysis and immediate visualization of the results are accessible remotely via the CytoSmart cloud.
September 2020—Bruker announced an advance in matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization with the launch of its MALDI-2 post-ionization (PI) source, now available as an option on the TimsTOF Flex ESI/MALDI mass spectrometer. The MALDI-2 technology can offer one or two orders of magnitude higher sensitivity for many small molecules and lipids, Bruker said. MALDI-2 increases the applications range of MALDI mass spectrometry and imaging even further. Bruker launched additional TIMS/PASEF-enabled 4D proteomics methods that leverage the large-scale, real-time availability of accurate collision cross sections (CCS) for thousands of measured peptides per 4D nanoLC-CCS-MS/MS run.
September 2020—Power of Process, an international learning and development company, and LabVine have partnered to provide an online laboratory performance improvement program, hosted on Labvinelearning.com. The program consists of the Power of Process Champion and Power of Process Master courses followed by a three-month workplace component to embed learning.
September 2020—Luminex Corp. announced that the FDA issued an emergency use authorization for the company’s xMAP SARS-CoV-2 Multi-Antigen IgG Assay.
